let's bring in our pentagon correspondent barbara starr. barbara, what will they be looking for at these bases? >> well, wolf, i think it's exactly what everyone would expect and hope the defense department would do. they are going to look at physical access, physical security measures. first up, they want to look and make sure everyone's doing their job appropriately at the check points, at the gates, at various places on installations where there are security personnel. is everything being done correctly? second, are the requirements right? is everything being done that should be done? are there new requirements, new technologies, new procedures that should be put into place? tough question, wolf. these installations often house thousands of people that come and go every day to work that is not practical, well understood for them to stop and search every vehicle. so there is by every measure a huge amount of trust put into the people that have access to these bases that they are not criminals. that gets us to the second part that brian wa

ryan brown is live in the pentagon with the latest. what do we know? >> this raid is what is calling a site exploitation operation. and now this complex operation was in the planning stages for months during the obama administration but president trump was left with the task of green lighting the operation due to requirements that made the mission necessary after january 20th. one of those operational requirements was the absence of moonlight to help provide cover as the special forces moved in. unfortunately for them al qaeda was able to protect them coming in even without the moonlight and the fire fight broke out involving small armed fire or grenades. it's believed to have caused a significant number of causalities and a u.s. aircraft suffered some technical difficulties forcing it to conduct a hard landing and forcing the u.s. military to destroy it and prevent that technology falling into enemy hands. now the information including hard drives grabbed during the raid actually is already yielding valuable intelligence. >> thank you very much. rex t
